Step II: Scale your pattern to size

and trim down your design down.

Using an old art class trick,rub pencil on the back of the your design.

Then secure your design to your block with painters tape,(The painters tape will peel off easy. It will also make it easy to lift up and check where your at if you loose your place so you don't have to mess up your alignment.)and trace your design.

(I used a ruler on this design, because it was a detailed geometric pattern.)

When you peel your paper off,you will get a light pencil outline onto your block.

Step III: Now pick out your colors and paint each section of your design.

(I didn't outline all of my little sections in this one, but I did outline the little spaces I didn't paint so that you could still see the shape.)

Let dry.

Step V: Finish it off with the sealer of your choice.(Whether it be the spray or Modge Podge.)

(This is optional, but when you seal the wood it brings out the wood grain,and also protects the paint from chipping.)And your end result....

(I just leaned mine on a shelf. If you want to hang yours, you can use a number of different pictures hangerssuch as these: D-Ring or a Sawtooth hanger.Just make sure you have short nails or screws so they don't come out the front.)Happy crafting...and send me photos if you make your own Quilt "Blocks"Thanks for stopping by!!!<3 Holly HollyPelletierClark@gmail.com
